> How often and how likely are you, yourself, likely to be a target of racist language?

I'm not white, but I'm still extremely not likely to be a target of racist language. In most tech offices, they try to do a good job to avoid unnecessary lawsuits that can cost in the millions. I also feel that tech offices tend to have more educated people on a whole, which massively helps.

> And how keyed into the more subtle forms of racism are you?

I'm aware. "subtle cues" do not "fly right over" my head

Fair enough. On the basis of the previous threads on this topic, it seems to me, at least, that most HNers who bothered to comment didn't or don't get it.
